The idea that time heals wounds is true, but to hide behind silence and lies allows infection to run rampant. Courage is shown in confessing, apologizing, and making efforts to restore trust. Manipulators will blame others, avoid responsibility, and spin truth. They’ll take what they want, hurt who they want, and then blame others for feeling hurt. What they want comes first. The humble put the needs of others before themselves. They allow wounds to heal by taking responsibility for the pain they have caused.

Get far away from manipulators. Seek reconciliation with the humble and repentant. Forgive all.
